We had a really AWESOME week back after Spring Break! The children showed so much compassion during Autism Awareness Week and truly learned a great deal of new information.
I'm happy to announce we took FIRST PLACE in the "One for Books" Coin Drive. As a school, we raised $1,100!! Our class brought in a grand total of $163.10. I'm so incredibly proud of the efforts and donations for this wonderful cause. Scholastic will be matching our school's efforts and donating that money to our school library. As the winning class, we will be able to shop the book fair this week and spend our total to get new books for our classroom. Soo exciting!!
We will be previewing the Scholastic Book Fair today and then shopping on Wednesday. Family Night will be after school on Wednesday from 4:00-7:30 in the Media Center. I will not send home a book order this month due to the book fair.
Our Money Math Unit is off to a great start. The students need to be secure with naming coins and their values, counting coin combinations, and adding prices to find the total amount. Since this is such a short unit, we will be taking our Outcome Assessment already this week.
April is National Poetry Month! We spent last week learning about acrostic and bio poems. The class did a great job coming up with their own ideas and writing their poems.
In reading we are working on identifying story elements, such as characters and setting, as well as parts of the story, such as beginning, middle, and end.
Over the next several weeks in science, we will be exploring the different habitats in our world. I gave the children an overview of all of the habitats last week, and now we will spend some time focusing on each individual habitat, starting with the ocean.
Did you return your spring pictures or payment yet? Please do so as soon as possible.
I'm out at the District Office today for Common Core. I'm available via email if you need to get in touch.
Have a great week!! :)
